Lovin' My Scrappin'

I love digital scrapbooking! I am obsessed! If I could do this for a living, I would in a heartbeat...the creative process is so exciting in that you never know what you are going to end up with until it is complete. I am not one for too many layers and junk that take the eye away from the photo which is the most important thing. My major was in advertising which really helps with the design layout. Can you believe when I was in high school I wanted to live in Chicago and work in an ad agency??? And I haven't even been to Chicago! Thank God that didn't pan out...Ok, back to work for me... Enjoy!

Dog Days of Fall


We have been blessed with some gorgeous days! Look at handsome Sammy! Little Bear and Nugget however are a bit miserable. Little Bear is experiencing skin allergies. She will lick and lick and develop a sore so on goes the e-collar! Poor thing. I do believe it is because I changed their kibble. This happened a few years back and the same thing happened...so why did I do it again? Well, the last time, I changed to an organic high end kibble, thinking I am doing the best for my babies. We went through the allergy testing, got the shots, etc. but that didn't stop the incessant itching. Then I figured it out...the new food! I put her back on Purina Fit and Trim and voila! But this time, only two weeks ago, I put her on that new Purina Pro that you can only get from the vets...still a Purina product so no worry, right? Wrong! Her itching has lessened now that she is back on her Fit and Trim. Will still get a cortizone shot hopefully today!
Nugget on the other hand, is experiencing the cruciate disease on both legs now. He got a wart removed that must have been super sore. He has two stitches therefore, the e-collar is a must. Will take them out today! He has been such a good dog about it! He is also on Deramax. I finally relinguished due to the liver issues these anti-inflammatories can cause, but his limping was awful! Will get the liver 'blood' tested every 6 months.
Look who I saw on my way out to lunch yesterday? I think that is Brave One with Sunny and one of Sunny's 'cousins' as this is the same field little Sunny was sleeping in during those hots days in July!
Our pretty pear! She is gorgeous but bears no more fruit so I purchased two little pear trees so help in that department....The fawns killed one...bad deer!
The Harvest Moon was spectacular though my photo does not do justice to God's wonders....and byw, why in the (expletive) does the U.S. have to bomb the moon? Leave things alone! I am so tired of destruction. I think that money could go towards better things especially during these trying times! Humans do not need to live on the moon, stay in a hotel on the moon, etc. ...did you hear that one? A cool 4 million will allow you a three day stay up there...ahhh, don't get me started!
Look at Little Bear! Poor baby girl!
What a stretch Coty! Are you going to run a marathon?
Even plants like a little bling...see her diamond?
Pretty pansies have survived the cold so far. I covered them last night! Brrrrrr.
Pretty Pear in the evening shows such brilliant colors! My purple Mum I got from Lowes last year for only a dollar came back to display such beauty! Look how big she grew!

Pets and Pumpkins

Perfect perch!
Mama's little 'cactress' finally stood still!

No Cricket, I am still mad at you...leave me alone!
Cricket tackled his mother before I put her on the post! Bad baby cat!
Cricket looking worried...4 large dogs had just run out of the front door!
Curious Big Blue! There goes the little pumpkin!
What is that Blue?
Jessie, are you going to play soccer with Blue?
Jessie bit the little pumpkin instead!
Daddy Cat could care less and munched on a tasty blade of grass.

Happy Halloween bloggy buddies!

Ok, here is the answer...
This one is a bit easier....

Still too hard? ok.....

My beautiful 'Grandcat'!

Cricket trying to get a field mouse but I saved another life....as long as they don't get in the barn.
